Hint:Mixed fractions should be changed into improper fractions first. The total amount spent by the person should be subtracted to the total amount earned by him to get the saving by him on that day. Addition and subtraction of fractions is done after taking the L.C.M. (Least Common Multiple) of the denominators.
Complete step by step answer:
We are given that a person earns Rs.100
in a day and spends Rs.1427
and Rs.3023
on food and petrol respectively. We have to find out the total amount of money saved by him on that day. For this we should first add the total amount of money spent by him on the day and then subtract it from the total amount he earned that day.
Given, total amount earned =Rs.100
Amount spend on food=Rs.1427
Converting the above mixed fraction into improper fraction. We get,
1427=14×7+27
